John1e and Bravos' Vacation Island

•

Game Synopsis

The game is a local co-op puzzle game where players play as protagonists John1e and Bravo, two robots who recently purchased an island that is filled with pollution. The two robots do not want to spend any resources to thoroughly clean their new island. Players will have to use John1es agility and Bravos strength to find all the litter in a level and hide it from tourists view so that the robots can take a picture of the newly “cleaned” island and advertise to tourists. The game was created to identify a challenge like a social or economic issue.

Project Brief

The project brief was to identify a challenge like a social or economic issue and create a game to address the issue. The issue that my group member and I chose the issue of pollution and how some companies might not want to invest a lot of their money to thoroughly take care of pollution in their business. We highlighted this issue in our game by showing how the robots don’t throw away the trash on their island instead they just hide the trash on the island away from tourist view. We even have a minigame after each level where the players can pick a response to deflect some backlash received from tourist on their websites about the pollution accusations.

Role and Contribution

For this project I was the game programmer and did all the coding for the game. For this project i was able to learn how to create interactable player tutorials, local multiplayer, creating water and fire shaders, and camera bounding both players by coding the camera to zoom out when players are far apart from each other and zoom in when players are close to each other.
